open cmd.exe and run:

msiexec /i path\to\wpkgclient.msi /qn  /lv* [path\name of log file]

it should write a log file of what the msi installing engine has done or
tried to do during the installation.

Maybe you could try to temporarily disable UAC to see if this helps. The
error you get surely points in that direction. Here you see how to do that:

you can turn it on later if needed.
